Cloudflare verdict

The most cost-effective way to run global infrastructure, provided your workloads fit the edge runtime.

  • Largest edge footprint available
  • Zero egress fees on R2 change storage economics
  • Security and performance from one vendor

Netlify verdict

The neutral choice when your framework mix is broad or Next.js is not the centre of your stack.

  • Genuinely framework-agnostic
  • Built-in forms and identity save services
  • Straightforward agency multi-site management
